As you know by now... I am a HUGE fan of Dylan Lewis's works. My infatuation started with the big cats, and the exhibition at the Rupert Museum was just exquisite! Here are a few images from our walk-about with Dylan, which was arranged through the Friends of the South African National Gallery, it was well worth it!
Dylan's hands are as expressive when talking about his sculptures, as they are when creating them...
I secretly LOVE this little sculpture of the leopard and the human... one day when I am big I want to own one! ; )
The wing man is my favourite... a bit reminiscent of Icarus...
This setting I think is quite spectacular! A friend commented that it reminds her of Lady Anne Barnard's bath, Lady Anne might have gotten a bit of a fright if she spotted this reflection in her bath though! For me it congers up a feeling of Narcissus. I read strong mythological connections in the work... but maybe that's just me! And I have to admit that I was not thrilled when Dylan started moving away from the cats... but now I have been converted and LOVE these sculptures! Thanks for creating them Dylan!
